The Geneva motor show is one of the biggest events in the automotive calendar. True, there are multiple other motor shows throughout the year, but because Geneva is neutral territory, all the car makers take it seriously – and many of the cars on display will be heading to UK showrooms.

This year, the big focus is on SUVs and electric cars, or in some cases a combination of the two. In fact, there are two all-new electric SUVs at the show: the Audi E-tron and Jaguar I-Pace. Other new models heading to Geneva include an all-new Mercedes A-Class family hatch, Lexus' take on the Jaguar E-Pace and Seat's hot version of the Ateca.
